We're all Jigsaws

So lately I've been thinking. About life, about love...

And I've thought about a lot.

I've realized that the Gods are fickle creatures, and sometimes they favor certain people more than others. Sometimes they put someone there for you, sometimes they don't, and sometimes they put more than one person there. But always, you can tell who they are.

People talk about finding someone and feeling like a part was missing, feeling like they weren't complete. In part, that's true.
We aren't incomplete. We aren't missing part of ourselves.
Rather, we are all of who we are. We are jigsaw puzzles, and all of the pieces are there - we just can't see the whole image. Who we are is always a work in progress. Sometimes we are putting ourselves together and we just get stuck. We put part together,  can't put another in place, and simply shift to another piece instead of persevering.
We find that some pieces don't fit no matter which way we look at it. The pieces aren't missing - they just can't be put in place by us. If the Gods are in a good mood, they'll send you someone who can see where the piece fits. They'll send you someone that helps you see who you are in full - the good and the bad.
They'll take your hand with the piece in it, and they'll guide you through placing it. They'll steer your hand, and you'll look at where they put the piece and wonder how you missed it because it's a perfect fit. You'll see them and wonder how you never saw that they know you completely, almost better than you know yourself. And you'll want to change some pieces of the jigsaw that is you, but you can't and they don't care. They just want to see you whole because they cannot think of a better picture to see. And they love you because of and in spite of what they see.

If you find someone who helps you see who you are - the Gods truly favor you.
We aren't incomplete beings if we aren't in love. We come with all the parts - there's just a little assembly required.
